In which direction is point X from point Y? Statement I: Point X is to the north of point Z, and point Z is to the east of point Y. Statement II: Point X is 5 km from point Y.

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not. Statement I places X north of Z and Z east of Y, so X is to the north-east of Y, fixing the direction. Statement II gives only distance, which does not indicate direction.
